Show Notes

Petesy Carroll is joined by Chuck Mindenhall and Ben Fowlkes to discuss TKO’s imminent arrival in the boxing world, in conjunction with Saudi Arabia (2:50), and TKO president Mark Shapiro suggesting the Ali Act is flawed.

During the show, news broke of a massive boxing card taking place in Times Square, so the lads give their thoughts on hosting an event in that unique location (35:12), before the conversation turns to the UFC’s media rights, which will be up for grabs before the end of 2025 (44:48).

Finally, Petesy asked Chuck and Ben if the build-up to Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn has made a splash across the pond (58:42).
